Stop/Start

[Bwicka]

A lot of aftermarket tuners will eliminate the feature too.
Just pricey .

I received my 2024 XL 2.0 EcoBoost in December right after Christmas. This is the second time I have to take it in for the Auto Stop/Start feature not working. Is anyone else having this issue?

I have read a report that using that start/stop button is not good for the engine and makes them wear out faster. I stopped using mine.

Can you provide a link to SAE or other credible sources? Tik Tok don't count

Mine also sometime works but most of the time it does not which is okay by me

I've also heard that using the stop / start function isn't good for the turbocharger.

One thing that I've found with the Mav. is that if I pull up to a light and I don't hold the brake pedal hard all the way down (only about 1/2 way) when I'm stopped, the S/S function doesn't turn off the engine.

Let's do a survey. I'm not savvy enough so maybe some one can set it up to keep a running total with the following questions:
1. I got the available wiring harness and eliminated the start/stop.
2. I turn it off when I first start the engine.
3. I turn it off at the first stop I make because I forgot to turn it off when I started the engine.
4. I let it do it's thing as designed.

Fenske may not be as entertaining, but he usually has the receipts:


He just bought a Maverick and has started doing videos on that.

To answer the question (poll)...
2. I turn it off, on starting the engine the first time...
My 2022 XL ECO has the original battery for 19 months, now. Always turn off the S/S, just before i turn the radio on...
I am planning to start checking the batt voltage, since a friend who has a 2018 Exped, was told by his mechanic to change them out every two years. (To avoid getting stranded in yhe boonies). This is my first vehicle that is more computer (digital) than a abbacus (analog).. personaly, i liked my abbacus...

I always turn it off. Think it can be disabled in Forscan also there is a device that goes behind the OBD2 port to disable this feature.

Thanks for posting. My stops are mostly less that 7 seconds, so now I know the start/stop does not save fuel for me.

What is this eliminator and where do you get it?

I don’t know about the engine but I think it will certainly wear out your starter faster!

Thank you for your reply. I feel the same way. It is feature on a new vehicle and I want it to work like its designed to.

It likely is.
